I loved The Outsiders when I read it!!! Dallas and Johnny and Ponyboy!

[Petra]

I'm in a bit of a slump...I can't find a book that catches my interest right now so I'm taking a few days of a break to see if that helps......meanwhile, I'm leafing through books on my shelf to see if something grabs me.

[Marti]

I don't know what to read next The Sound of Sleigh Bells a first read or one of the Margaret Maron books called Hard Row, which brings me closer to the end of the set. SIGH

[JG (Introverted Reader)]

Ugh. Fall On Your Knees. I pretty much loathed that book. I felt bad about it because that was one of the first books my husband ever bought me as a gift. I've since decided that Oprah and I do not see eye to eye when it comes to books.

LOL! Oprah and I don't see eye to eye about books either. The only ones on her list that I like I had read before they made her list. When I try the others, I'm disappointed.

[Susanna]

Maybe I'm tired or something but I just finished Fall On Your Knees and I liked the ending which for me brought this book from two stars to three. I think I've read too many books that deal heavily with religion in a short while. Though this one was really more about how I loved the beginning, then the story sort of stopped for a few hundred pages because I thought there was more to all this and then everything came together in the last hundred pages. I would've given this one five stars if I'd only read the beginning and the end.

Oh well, onwards. Next I'm picking up The Heretic's Daughter by Kathleen Kent. But since it's 3 AM, I won't be doing that until tomorrow.

I always ignore the Oprah stickers that are placed on books (although it's annoying when the label is on the cover and not a sticker). I can't say that I particularly care what she thinks--I'm way more likely to take a recommendation from a friend!

I really liked this book myself. I hope it grabs you soon.

How is the Ani Difranco book? I enjoy her music.

[Lianne]

I started reading E.M. Forster's Where Angels Fear to Tread, which is pretty interesting so far =)

Vicki, it was good. Check out my review on it if you like. Her paintings are interesting (they are all untitled), and she has some strong political and social views interwined with lovey dovey mushy stuff... just like her musical lyrcis. Which, by the way, are also in the collection. Some of the song lyrics are written out in the book as well.... "As Is", "32 Flavors"....

Thanks! I didn't even know she had a book. I have to check it out.

I just finished Swimsuit by James Patterson. I liked the story, but it was a very unsatisfying ending. It seemed to me that he hurried to end it so he could meet his deadline!

I have just started reading Leap Into Darkness by Leo Bretholz. It is a true story about a 17 year old Jewish boy who flees Austria after Germany invades it. It tells about how he survived seven years living on the run in Europe. So far it is really good.

[Lauren]

Just finished Chill Factor by Sandra Brown. Starting Killer Smile by Lisa Scottoline!

Ender's Game is the best sci-fi book ever! You better love it, or else!

[Carol]

Jayme said, "You better love it, or else!"
Are you going to send her to the other galaxy ,in the next shuttle to the netherlands. hehehehe

[Kimberlee]

Currently, I'm reading John Dies at the End by David Wong. This book is actually laugh out loud funny which doesn't happen often. One just has to make it through the semi-scary plot but it has so far made for a very enjoyable read.

Just finished In a Perfect World. A very interesting book, especially now, when H1N1 seems to be a concern worldwide. Read this book and tell me what you think of the end!

[Leanna]

I'm currently reading A Great and Terrible Beauty by Libba Bray. It's very good so far, I'm definitely intrigued and looking forward to finishing.

This weekend I read The Regulators by Richard Bachman (Stephen King) and Feed by MT Anderson, both extremely good and highly recommendable. I especially love the character Violet from Feed. She's fantastic.

[Trish]

I finished Dead to the World and it was my favorite of the series so far. I usually like to take a break in between books in the same series, but I had to go ahead and start Dead as a Doornail. Then I will read The Book Thief

Haha! Oh Jayme! Thanks for the extra confidence boost in posting my opinion here! LOL.

Well, you are in luck! I did enjoy this science fiction book very much! I was actually surprised at how much I liked it. I did prefer the first half of the book a lot more than the second half.

Now I don't know what to read. I'm afraid to pick up anymore books this week because I have a huge senior thesis to write that's due Monday, and two tests next week. Yeah...this weekend will suck, but after next week I will have all the time in the world to read as much as I want!

Someone PLEASE hit the fast forward button now! :)

Me too! My daughter and I are going, can't wait!

" Me three!!! I had to read New Moon one more time before it released! That was the first book that I'd read in the series. I'd watched the Twilight movie before that. So I favour New Moon over Twilight, the novel.

[Jayme]

Yay! I'm so glad you liked it, Michelle. I didn't hear you say the words "best ever", but I'll let it slide...

The sequel is really weird, I kinda liked it, but wouldn't really recommend it...so bizarre and not at all like Ender's Game.

[Paula]

My s-i-l said the same thing so I haven't hurried to grab it up and don't know if I will. I did like "Ender's Game" though.

[Maicie]

Finished Under the Dome A Novel, the new King book. Started Deeper by James A. Moore - a spooky book about a research team on a month-long ocean expedition. Perfect for reading on the cruise. See you all when I get back.

[Donna]

Reading Pretties by Scott Westerfeld

Wow Maicie! How was "Under the Dome"?

[Maicie]

Under the Dome was typical King fare - which I like. The end fizzled so I only gave it 3 stars. Still it was a fun read.

[Lindz]

just curious, is there a stephen king novel which doesn't fizzle or just go weird at the end? I like his books, but the man can't seem to end a novel!

[Maicie]

I really liked The Stand, Misery, The Green Mile, Salem's Lot, Carrie, The Shining, and Cujo.

Thanks Maicie. I haven't heard any feed back on it and was curious.

[Claire]

I'm in the middle of Midwives and I'm loving it. I love his writing and the way the story is told.

[Delan]

I am starting Fearless Fourteen by Janet Evanovich. I just picked it up so no details yet, but will let you know how it is in a few days.

[Marti]

I enjoy Chris Bohj..'s writing also. I find there are gut clenching minutes that really make you take a deep breathe.. have you read any others of his?

[Marti]

OH I forgot - I am reading Hard Row by Margaret Maron and then I am going to read Death's Half Acre by Margaret Maron and then I am going to read The Sound of Sleigh Bells and then .... I don't know

[Lori, Super Mod]

I have just finished A Day and a Night and a Day A Novel - Glen Duncan knocks one out of the park again, managing to squeeze religion or lack thereof into yet another novel! This one centers around a man who is being tortured for information. Very tastefully and sentimentally done.

Moving on to The Secret History next, methinks!

[Lyn (Readinghearts)]

I am currently reading A Northern Light by Jennifer Donnelly which I should finish in the next coupe of days. Then I will start Street of a Thousand Blossoms by Gail Tsukiyama.

[Christroybels]

I've just started Wolf Hall. I looked up the reviews here and they were all glowing so I bought it. I'm up to pg 153 and its just starting to hook me.

[Jason]

I am reading:

Split Infinity -- Dean Koontz (taking my time... it's okay but not great)
Friends and Lovers -- Eric Jerome Dickey (pretty good so far)

I am listening to:

Jane Eyre -- Charlotte Bronte (very good... so much better than I was expecting!)

[Dija]

I am currently reading

[Sherrie]

I just started The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane on audio and am blazing through The Bridges of Madison County. It's a short book, but awwww, it is so good so far. I'm also partially into The Widow of the South and hope to finish it by the 30th so I can use it for the Fall Challenge. It will be my last book for this month I think.

I want to read this so bad - it's been all over the internet, so I think it's calling to me LOL

[Suzanne]

I am reading The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate. Then onward to my 2 library books. One by James Patterson and the other one by Sandra Brown.

[Janice]

I am reading Living Like Ed by Ed Begley. Ed started living a very environmentally aware life back in the 70's when it wasn't fashionable. It is great to read about an actor who doesn't give a hoot about Hollywood lifestyles and refuses to enter gasoline powered cars.
This book has humor and humbleness.

I loved "The Bridges of Madison County". Glad to see you're enjoying it.

Regarding Ender's Game and the sequels: I absolutely adored Speaker for the Dead, Xenocide, and Children of the Mind. Ender's Game was enjoyable, but I found the following 3 to be very thought-provoking reads.

I have noticed, however, that most people do NOT share my opinion. ;) So, if you really enjoyed Ender's Game, I recommend trying Ender in Exile (which is the newest, but also the direct sequel to Ender's Game) and the Ender's Shadow books. These ones have a more "Ender's Game"-feel to them.

Just my $0.02. :)

[Kate]

I finished Fire and I enjoyed it. Different concepts to Graceling, though some aspects do mingle into it.

Still working on A Tale of Two Cities and also opened Odd Thomas. I've heard some good things about it here so thought I'd give it a go.

Odd Thomas is a little quirky but I liked it. I have the next one to get to soon I hope!
